Once I was watching something on the Food Network on TV and Ithought, I could do this, so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggestcookbook I could find.”Within a year, he has produced most of the dishes in the cookbook and wasready for a bigger plan. “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started to cookfor more people than just my family too.” His family allowed him to build a testkitchen in his bedroom. “At first, they were fine with it, but then they asked,do you want to be sleeping next to a cooker? Yes, I said! It started off as twotables with some simple cookers, my desk and my bed, but then I needed more space for cooking, so Imoved the desk out and got a small bed.” Then Garrys older sister, whose bedroom has more space, wentoff to college. He moved down to her room and filled with a large cooker, four work stations and a longarea for finishing the last steps on plates.Garry and his mother set up Eureka, a super club business that organizes monthly events inside hishome.

Theres thesatisfaction of finally reaching the last level of a game after months of trying. Some experts now say thatas well as offering pleasure, video games might also be good for you.Too good to be true?It seems that when you play video games, you might get some very important skills. They are greatfor your concentration (集中注意力). Being able to focus is a skill you can use at school or later, in a job.Fitness (健身) games, which are very popular, allow you to practise sports skills like balancing. A lot ofgames also teach decision-making skills. For example when you have to choose the best way to escapefrom a burning building in a game, youre learning how to solve problems and make your decisionquickly. Gaming teaches you about success and failure too. A lot of games are difficult, and you have towork hard to reach the top level, which teaches you that in life you can succeed if you keep on trying. Onthe other hand, games teach you that if you fail, dont give up have a break, and then try again.Some psychologists (心理学家) believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable. In thevirtual environment, young people can take on roles which are often not possible for them in real life.You can become a leader, and have to deal with people who lie to you, or hide things from you. Bydealing with these situations, you can develop social skills that might help you in the real world whenyoure older.Gaming does have its disadvantages, of course. Playing for a while is great, but people who play forhours can have problems. Physically, it can stop you from getting enough exercises, which is unhealthy.Psychologically, some players can become addicted (上瘾) to their games and begin to prefer their“virtual” lives, where they are always in control.But overall, playing video games is not harmful, unless you spend too much time. While yourebuilding your city, or looking after your farm in a game, youre also developing skills that will stay withyou for the rest of your life.27. What does the underlined word “virtual” mean? A. Unclear. B. Unreal. C. Valuable. D. Possible.28. How does the writer think of video games? A. Theyre harmful to our study and work. B. They give us chances to realize our dream. C. Playing video games is bad for our health. D. Video games can benefit us in many ways.29. What does gaming teach us about success and failure? A. Avoid the difficult top levels. B. Choose the best way to play. C. Believe in hard trying for success. D. Get enough rest after each failure.DSnow monkeys have been discovered taking baths in man-made hot springsduring winter in recent years. Now, researchers have found exactly why the monkeysdo this.The results are not surprising: The monkeys are cold. But the researchers also found thatbathing in a hot-spring may lower the monkeys levels of stress.“This shows that, as in humans, the hot spring has astress-reducing effect in snow monkeys,” said RafaelaTakeshita, the study lead writer. “This habit of hot springbathing by snow monkeys showed how animals behavior canhelp fight against cold-climate stress,” Takeshita said. Snowmonkeys live in very cold place in the world. They areespecially used to living in the cold; they grow thicker andlonger fur in the winter.In 1963, a female Japanese snow monkey living in Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, Japan, wasseen bathing in an outdoor hot spring belonging to a nearby hotel, and other monkeys soon copied thisbehavior, the researchers said. As you might imagine, a group of monkeys bathing in a hot spring meantto hold people made people feel the hot spring dirty, so the park management built a new hot spring justfor the monkeys. By 2003, about a third of the snow monkeys living in this park often bathed in the hotspring in the winter. The bathing monkeys are now already a popular tourist attraction.The bathing monkeys seemed to be bathing to stay warm, but scientists had no data to support thistheory, they said. In the new study, the researchers collected data from 12 adult female monkeys inJigokudani Monkey Park between April and June, and again from October to December. They examinedhow much time the monkeys spent in the hot spring, and also studied the data for “fecal glucocorticoid” ,a metbolite（代谢物） , related to the levels of stress in monkeys.The researchers found that female snow monkeys did use the hot spring more often in the winterthan in the spring, especially during colder weeks.The researchers also found that the dominant (统领) females spent the most time bathing becausethey need more energy to keep their position. They also have a higher level stress.The researchers concluded that hot-spring bathing becomes a tradition that provides physiological(生理的) benefits to the monkeys.30. Whats the best title for the passage? A. Snow monkeys in spring B. Snow monkeys with a new habit C. Snow monkeys in winter D. Snow monkeys under heavy stress31. How does Rafaela think of snow monkeys behavior? A. Its a natural tradition. B. Its a tourist attraction. C. It helps them get used to the environment. D. It makes them feel the position is important.32. What do the experiments carried in two different periods show? A. The female snow monkeys enjoy bathing in winter more. B. The number of hot-spring bathing snow monkeys grows. C. The experiments are easier to carry out in winter months. D. The bathing habits of the dominant male snow monkeys.33.

Researchers found old snow monkeys enjoy hot springs. D. Hot-spring bathing helps lower humans and animals stress.四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）My Mother, My Role ModelMy mom is one of the most important people in my life and what makes her so special is that sheseems to have no idea how encouraging she is.
